As you know, the number of COVID-positive cases in our community has risen dramatically over the past couple of months. As such, we have been asked to further evaluate our office practices, number of staff on campus, distributions, and interactions with the public. When we reviewed our practices, we realized we needed to tighten things up just a bit. To be as cautious as possible, the following changes will be in place:

• Limit the number of staff in the office
• Encourage staff members to work from home, when possible
• Reduce the office in-person visitor hours
• Eliminate all non-essential, non-academic distributions to students

In addition to these changes, we need to take one more step regarding Valentine's Day. As much as we love the holiday, the cards, the candy, and all the fun that comes along with it, we have to respect the health and safety of our staff, students, and families. This year, we cannot accept any donations or deliveries from our families for Valentine's Day. Additionally, we cannot accept any gifts on behalf of teachers or staff at this time. However, feel free to have your child email a digital card to their teacher as we know they love hearing my their students.

You all did an incredible job of showering our staff with gifts and kindness before the holidays. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our families. Thank you for all that you did to care for our staff. We know everyone was so touched and feels very much appreciated.

It is our sincere hope that we will be able to remove some of these restrictions and changes as time goes on. But for now, if we have any hope of reopening and getting our students back to campus, we have to do everything we can to limit the spread. Thank you for your grace, patience, and understanding. We greatly appreciate our Lions family.

Warmly,

Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Nielsen, and Mr. Stein
